I do gotta wonder if people making games like FF7R3 are looking at the world and going "fuck how do we make our political commentary more on the nose than this?"

Tom Lehrer, one of the greatest satirical lyricists America has ever produced, declared political satire to be dead when Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize. I just thought that was a fun anecdote.
This is actually the exact issue the Umineko writer, Ruukishi07 is running into with his newest episodic game, Ciconia
He said writing it was like writing Godzilla, if Godzilla was rampaging just outside your window; and like yeah it’s slightly funny and dire in equal measure
FF7 was never really as exaggerated as we tend to think, politically - most of the awful shit that goes on, outside of the fantasy elements, is at least roughly analogous to some element of postwar Japanese history.
plus, the musk stuff is as easy as asking, what if hojo was really bad at science?
